Normal headlight noise when switching to high beams?
Hmm..I never noticed it before but I did tonight. You can hear a bit of a groan when I flicked the switch. HID headlights. Normal, yeah?

Mine does it as well. I believe it is because of the HIDs. IIRC my previous cars have made a similar sound with the HIDs and turning on the high beams.

Headlamp bearings need replaced. Might as well have them change the blinker fluid while they're at it.

High beams are achieved mechanically. I believe a shield is moved to allow full light output i.e. high beams.

This. Your 'high beams' are on ALL THE TIME but a baffle or cover mechanically closes and opens over the top of the headlights making the sound.
